now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o three_o point_n let_v we_o consider_v what_o this_o spouse_n demand_v he_o unto_o who_o she_o address_v and_o

see_v he_o not_o in_o the_o bed_n where_o she_o sleep_v be_v not_o therefore_o clean_o out_o of_o hart_n but_o get_v herself_o up_o show_v that_o because_o she_o find_v he_o not_o her_o desire_n of_o

18.2_o 2_o but_o we_o must_v especial_o consider_v that_o which_o the_o spouse_n say_v in_o this_o place_n namely_o that_o she_o diligent_o seek_v after_o her_o bridegroom_n by_o the_o open_a place_n
